A person could, but given such a calorie punch for so little food, I think most people would have a hard time sticking to their calorie goals if that is all they ate. Maybe I should try it and see. I'm eating ~1550cal a day right now. That's 10 twinkies. I have a hard time thinking that would keep me going, especially on…

Not to mention hungry as hell. 150cal per twinkie. If your TDEE is say 2500 and you are going for a 500cal deficit, that's 13 twinkies a day. Idk that 4 twinkie for each meal would keep me at all satisfied. The only real issue with sugar, is that it is normally paired with high fat as well (ie baked goods, ice cream etc)…

Pretty much this. When you start out it's no biggie, but the heavier you lift the more you need the recovery time and running 4-5miles a day while progressively loading and on a caloric deficit, well something has to give. My question to you is: what are your fitness goals? If you are training for a 5K or some other race,…

True. I believe one of the terms of the settlement was Herbalife would have to distinguish between those are active retail sellers and those who only signed on to get the discount.

Hip Bones, I got's em!

I know right. I was at Costco the other day and like 10 different people tried to push their products on me. Something about try this free sample of tuna on a cracker...pushy I tell you what.

I've bought and read Starting Strength and agree it is also a good program. I routinely suggest to people here SL 5x5 or Starting Strength or Wielder 5/3/1. I also like Icecream FItness 5x5, but I think even though he calls it a novice program, it is a lot of gym time compared to some others to start. But, come on, you…

LOL How is that different from every other product on the market ever? We are bombarded with advertising, sales people and marketing all day every day. Many (most) of them selling sub par products. It will be interesting to see how Herbalife restructures from a MLM based model to a retail based model. No more recruiting…

Had mine out oh 10+ years ago now. Honestly until you get that bugger out, yeah, high fat food is going to cause attacks. I once threw a jar of peanut butter off my 4th floor patio into the apple orchard across the road after I decided to eat some and had a bad attack. I basically lived on chicken breast and white rice…

If you mean things like pounding away on the treadmill or elliptical. Yup. But, for overall heart health you "should" at least incorporate 30mins of brisk walking a couple days a week.

Lifting while in a deficit. I started sl 5x5 back in mid May in conjunction with going into deficit to lose some weight. Things have progressed nicely through May,June and July and I have gotten my Squats back over 200lbs (person best 350 6 years ago) and my deadlifts to 250 (PB 400) while dropping 35lbs, but things are…

Medhi never said he invented 5x5. In fact he has always given credit to old school lifters like Bill Starr and Reg Park. Right on the SL 5x5 website: History of StrongLifts 5×5 Stronglifts 5×5 is based on the 5×5 routine of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s mentor, Reg Park. Reg Park was the first guy to write about 5×5 in 1960.…

It might be worth deloading a bit and working on your form. Watch some videos like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1IGeJEXpF4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4AObAU-EcYE If possible have someone record your deadlift and compare you video to the above.

They are cutting for a physique or Bodybuilding competition. They are a MMA fighter entering camp and cutting to make weight? Many reasons why. Not sure the OP asked for your judgement....

OHP is the first lift almost everyone stalls on and deloads. It targets the smallest muscle group in the program and in comparison to the bigger compound lifts like Squats and Deads, it will never progress overall at the same pace. In the past I took my deadlifts to 400lbs without stalling once and in the same time had to…

It's funny, the Herbalife stock actually jumped up after that ruling over $10 a share, because despite the restructuring and fine, the FTC didn'tlabel them a Pyramid scheme.

If you go for the VivosmartHr+ it does have a gps tracker. It's about $50.00 more than the normal HR which has the heart rate but not the GPS. Good review of this years trackers by Wearable.com http://www.wareable.com/fitness-trackers/the-best-fitness-tracker

From the study you linked Muscle size does matter in terms of pure strength, I didn't say it didn't. But it is not the only thing that determines the strength of a person. I, and I'm sure many others, have seen bodybuilders and ripped dudes with plenty of bulk destroyed in compound and other pure strength lifts by much…

The key to any fitness regime is the sustainability. Are you training to run for a 10k or marathon or just because you enjoy running? Unless you are, maybe cut the cardio back a bit to make room for the weight training. If you are already comfortable working out 5-6 days a week maybe work in a switch. Mon-Wed-Fri is…

I've been using the Garmon Vivosmart HR. I like the app a lot and the tracker has some nice features and is quite comfy. It links with MFP easily.

I think she is saying how long can the OP run/jog (not walk) 9 miles per day, day in and day out. A 150lb person would need to run 9 miles to burn 1089 calories.

I find it funny you don't think someone taking the steps to remove a trigger food from easy access isn't taking responsibility for their behavior regarding weight management. They obviously know themselves and what does and doesn't work for them. Moderation worked for you, gold stars and cart wheels. For other, they find…

HIt 200lbs for my squats and 240 for my deadlifts yesterday. Still aways to get back to what I did back in my 30's, but feeling stronger than I have in years.

Short answer. Yes. Question, Why do you equate maintaining an accurate food diary with obsession and eating disorders? Is it an eating disorder to know where your personal energy equation lays so you can use that knowledge to further your goals of weight loss or maintenance or even for some here weight gain for training…

You need to turn roughly into: I am weighing/measuring and tracking my intake at.... There are too many variables in what you listed. Glass of wine per night. 5oz?6oz?8oz? Varies by varietal but on average 5 oz of white wine is 116 cal, 8oz is 186 calories. Ice cream, 1/2c serving? Eyeball a scoop into the bowl? Ben and…

Exactly. The macro profiles aren't great and certainly not worth the inflated cost, but beyond that...

What she is suggesting is a geared towards muscle hypertrophy, specifically sarcoplasmic hypertrophy. This is a common routine for physique, bikini competitors and bodybuilders. They are looking to build visible muscle mass over strength gains using lower weight but higher rep counts and things like supersets and dropsets.…

Drama much? Who was saying anything like that?

Sadly not sold in Canada.... :'(

Costco for major shops. Great Canadian Superstore or Walmart for fill ins.
